The grounds surrounding the house present an array of trees, bushes, plants and flowers from the commonplace to the exotic. Planting in the garden began shortly after the house was completed in 1849. The flower garden at the rear of Prospect House was laid out in approximately its present form by Wilson�s wife, Ellen. In her design, the garden�s pathways define the outline of the University shield when viewed from above. She also supervised the planting of the evergreens that serve as a backdrop for the flower garden. The flowers are changed at regular intervals throughout the growing season, an effort supported by a gift from an anonymous donor.Original file name Prospect house.jpeg4177 x 2785Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
